A spring 195 extends between the lever 193 and the tie brace 182.

A bell crank with the arms 196, 197 is pivoted, by means ot the pin 198 to the tie brace 182. The arm 196 carries a pin 199 on which is pinned one end of the link 200, and the latter by means of the pin 201 is connected to the lever 193. The arm 197 has journaled thereto the roller 202. A cam 203 fastened to the shaft 40 is in the path of the roller 202.

A pin 204 extends from the upright 179 and a pin 205 extends from the upright 180, which respectively support the pulleys 206 and 207. A guide bar 208 is also supported on the pins 204, 205.

A sliding carriage 209 is supported on the guide bar 208 and carries the bracket 210, which has an opening tor the spindle 211 of the pressure plate 212. A head 213 is carried on the spindle 211. A pin 214 eX- tends from the carriage 209 and supports a handle 215, having the slot 216. A band 217 extends from the handle 215 passes over the pulley 206, then over the pulley 207, next under the suspended pulley 218. 1t carries the weight 219 and finally is fastened to the hook 200 extending from the lower face of the table 20. The carriage 209 can easily be detached from the band 217 by disengaging the slot 216 of the handle 215 from the pin 214, and then the carriage 209 can be moved by hand.

A carriage 222 is located below the brace 182. A bending arm 233 is pivoted on said carriage. A pawl 235 is pivoted on the carriage and at its upper end is pinned one end of a link 240. The other end of the latter is pinned to the lever 242 carrying the roller 245, which bears against a cam not shown.

A bracket 279 on the table 20 supports a closer 280 which is fully described in the original application. A bracket 335 for a carriage 337 is supported on the table 20. A crosshead 338 is slidably supported on the carriage 337. Blades 346, 347 that constitute shears are carried on said carriage.

An arm 364 extends from the bracket 175 and has pinned to its outer end a link 365. A bracket 366 on the table 20 has pivoted thereto the lever 368 which in turn is pinned to one end of the link 369, the other end of which latter is pinned to the link 365. A roller 370 is journaled on the lever 368, and a cam 371 on the shaft 40 is in the path of said roller. To the arm 364 is also pinned the link 372 that has journaled thereto the roller 37 3. A pin 374 on the link 372 is in the path of the link 365. A glue boX 375 is fastened to the table 20 and has jour` naled therein the glue wheel 377 and spindle 379 with the cleaning blade 378. A pair of wheels 387 for the paper band 389 are ournaled below the glue box. A leg 390 has pivoted thereto an arm 392 with the counterweight 393, which forces a presser linger 394 against the band 389.

A band 403 with the weight 404 has one end fastened to the link 372. 1t passes over the sheave 402 ournaled in the arm 401 eX- tending from the said glue bon. A supporting plate 405 is hinged to the arm 364. To operate the machine the paper band 389 is led from its reel until it reaches the carriage 222, over the edge or which latter it is bent by the bending arm 233.

A plurality of paste boa-rd strips 421 preterably notched at 422 to enable them to be shaped to form the necks or trames to be Jformed are located between the tie braces 181, 182 and 183, 184. The pressure plate 212 bears against said strips by virtue of the resulting effect of the weight 219 and the sliding carriage 209 maintains them with the requisite trictional engagement between said plate and the upright 179.

The shaft 23 is rotated by means of a belt not shown engaging the pulley 28. The pinion 32 and gear 41 transmit rotation to the cam shaft 40. rhe sector 80 rotates the gear 81 and the latter rotates the gear 83 by virtue of which the guide boxes 135, 140 and the blocks 145 and 146 are given their requisite intermittent rotations.

lVhen the guide boxes 135, 140 and blocksY 145, 146 are at rest and in the positions shown particularly in Fig. 3, the strips 421 are pushed down consecutively one after the other through the opening 178, by the pusher plate 187, the strip adjacent to the upright 179 being the one that is acted upon. The moving strip is thereby located alongside a pair of accompanying ends of the guide blocks 145, 146 and is guided in place by the fingers 142, 143. rLhe strips travel to the lower end of the said sides of the said blocks and are pinched by the catch 151. The distance that the strips are pushed down is controlled by the location of the adjusting screw 190, the latter controlling the stroke of the pusher block 186.

The said pusher block is controlled by the action of the cam 203 on the bell crank with the arms 196 and 197 and the interposed linked connections. 'The spring 195 always tends to pull down the lever 193 that controls the movement of the pusher plate 187. After each strip has been lowered in position the pusher plate 187 rises and the paper band is glued to the strip as described in the original application.

Having described my invention what 1 desire to secure by Letters Patent, and claim is 1. In a neck making machine the combination of a iframe for supporting strips ot' material, a guide bar supported on the frame, a pulley at each end of the guide bar, a pin extending from the carriage, a

handle having a slot with the latter engaging said pin, aband extending from said handle over both of said pulleys, a weight carried by the band and a pressure plate pivoted to said carriage to bring pressure against said strips.

2. ln a neck making machine the combination of uprights, a pusher plate guided in one of said uprights, a pusher block connected to said plate, upper and lower braces connected to the uprights, a frame plate having an opening connected to said uprights, a driving shaft journaled in the machine, a cam on the shaft, a bell crank pivoted to the lower braces, a roller journaled in one of the arms of the bell crank and in the path of said cam, a lever with one end pivoted to the upper braces and the other end pivoted to said pusher block, and a link with one end pivoted to said lever and the other end thereof pivoted to the other arm of said bell crank.

3. In a neck making machine the combination of uprights, a pusher plate guided in one of said uprights, a pusher block connected to said plate, upper and lower braces connected to the uprights, a frame plate having an opening connected to said uprights, adriving shaft journaled in the machine, a cam on the shaft, a bell crank pivoted to the lower braces, a roller journaled in one of the arms of the bell crank and in the path of said cam, a lever with one end pivoted to the upper braces and the other end pivoted to said pusher block, a link with one end pivoted to said lever and the other end thereof pivoted to the other arm of said bell crank, a guide bar connected to the uprights, a carriage on said bar and a pressure plate pivoted to the carriage.

4. In a neck making machine the combination of uprights, a pusher plate guided in one of said uprights, a pusher block connected to said plate, upper and lower braces connected to the uprights, a frame plate having an opening connected to said uprights, a driving shaft j ournaled in the machine, a cani on the shaft, a bell crank pivoted to the lower tie braces, a roller j ournaled in one of the arms of the bell crank and in the path of said cam, a lever with one end pivoted to said upper braces and the other end pivoted to said pusher block, a spring extending between said lever and one of the lower braces, a link with one end pivoted to said lever and the other end thereof pivoted to the other arm of said bell crank, and an adjusting screw connected up with said upright having the pusher block and in the path of the latter to limit the length of its stroke.
